The Earthsome Beat

A Poem by Gilad Levanon

Partly inspired by "Born of darkness..." by Craig Froman, thank you Craig (http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/cfroman/613008/). Mostly inspired by Mother Earth herself, thank you Gaia.

Sun, rise on my horizon,

Fill my meadow with your solid warmth,

Mud, squelch between my toes,

Tickle my feet with your slick slipperiness,

River, trickle on by,

Tantalize my ears with your curling melodies,

Wind, bring me the sweetest scents,

Light my breath with your slithering wisps,

The earthsome beat,

Pounding beneath my feat,

The watersome blood,

Coursing with every thud,

The airsome breath,

Between here and death,

The firesome soul,

To make us whole,

This day I celebrate this life,

This day joy is rife,

I smile at the firesome sunrise,

I revel in the earthsome mud,

I dance with the watersome river,

I rejoice in the airsome breeze,

Solid earth does link me to this reality,

She does remind me of my stage in this journey,

She translates the firesome sun,

So we may live this far from whence we have come,

She is power, primal and mighty,

She is the deepest rhythm inside me,

Here my loyal river nourishes me,

He brings me the ingredient I need to live freely,

How vital he is to cool my soul,

He teaches me to flow easily into my role,

He keeps earth’s translation alive,

He gives us all the opportunity to thrive,

From the wind I remember air,

Feeling the breeze I relinquish despair,

For the air teaches me to remember what I cannot see,

Freely it reminds me to remember my immortality,

Focussing on my inhale and my release,

Finally I am at peace,

Burning in the skies above,

Blazing with eternal love,

Brings to my earth the energy for being,

Begins the cycle of learning and seeing,

Brings me the ultimate lesson does the sun,

Brings me the lesson that we are all one,

The earthsome beat,

Pounding beneath my feat,

The watersome blood,

Coursing with every thud,

The airsome breath,

Between here and death,

The firesome soul,

To make us whole,

This just took my breath away... You have captured the wildness and wonder of the earth... its music, its life, its fire... and you've danced it out with such joy and celebration of living. Through all the pain there can still be a strong hope for tomorrow. Thank you so much for sharing!
